Child Evangelism Fellowship will hold CYIA Training on NBBI campus from Sunday, July 1 to Friday, July 6, 2012.

For the past nine years I have had the blessing of working with Child Evangelism Fellowship in Northern Maine. God has given us a tremendous responsibility to reach the lost and it is our passion in CEF to reach children with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Each year hundreds of boys and girls are presented with the message of salvation through various CEF sponsored ministries.

As a child, I was exposed to many CEF ministries. As I reached my teen and young adult years, I had the privilege to serve in various ministries such as Awana, Word of Life Clubs and others. One thing that I found invaluable was the training that I had received during my early teen years. For two summers, I attended a training camp called “Christian Youth In Action.” I was challenged to have a heart for the lost, to develop my relationship with the Lord, and to have confidence when sharing my faith.

One of our greatest goals is not only to share the gospel, but to equip others with the training and tools to do the same. Christ Himself said that He came for the lost and the need is as great today as it was then. CEF of Canada and CEF of Maine have partnered to bring Christian Youth In Action training to New Brunswick. NBBI has graciously agreed to host the CYIA training on their campus. CYIA is an intense training program that provides youth with the How-to’s of giving a clear and thorough presentation of the gospel while also providing opportunities to gain hands on experience.

The program is designed for ages 15 and up and will be held from Sunday, July 1 to Friday, July 6, 2012. If you would like to know more about CYIA or request brochures and applications, feel free to contact Alex Bourgoin at: (207) 425-2471, (207) 227-5411 or visit our link at: http://cefofmaine.org.

The Open Bible Bulletin has a new updated look!

Thank you for your patience over the last couple of months. We have been working toward a full-colour bulletin and it has taken longer to get things set up than we anticipated. We trust that those who were having difficulty reading the small print on grey background will be able to see the new, larger print better, especially since it is not black on grey. With this new, full-colour bulletin, we hope to attract more attention so a larger number of our readers will feel like picking up a copy and reading the excellent articles inside.

We will continue to keep you up-to-date on what is happening on our campus, and in the lives of our students and staff. Good, Bible-related articles will be included each month. And, with the help of our alumni, we hope to include more news and updates from our past graduates. If you are an alumnus and would like to send us an update on what you are doing or share an exciting event that has taken place in your ministry, drop us a line. You can contact us by email or by post by mailing information to:

Send photos of you and your ministry as well! Our space is limited so  be brief. Don’t worry too much about grammar and sentence structure. We will edit it for you. Also, keep in mind, we do work a couple of months ahead of time.

We appreciate you, our readers. We want this bulletin to be read by as many people as possible because we believe you are part of our lifeline. You are the ones who pray for us, give to us and encourage us in so many ways. Thank you!

Glenn and Flora Duff

Glenn Duff (MAY 23, 1925 – AUGUST 9, 2011)

For over 30 years Glenn Duff served as the Chairman of the New Brunswick Bible Institute Board of Directors. His leadership is remembered fondly by the board, staff, alumni and friends of NBBI. Glenn was no stranger to hard work. He was a busy dairy and potato farmer, and yet, he always made himself available to those who served under him. He was a leader who listened, and was impartial and unbiased in his judgments. He lifted many a barrel physically and many a burden spiritually. As a man of faith, Glenn began every NBBI board meeting by asking us to get on our knees in prayer. At times, midway through a meeting, he would have the board seek the wisdom of God through prayer.

Glenn was a christian role model in his love for his wife Flora, and an example of integrity to his children and grandchildren. He loved good music and must have smiled from heaven as a quartet of his grandsons gave a wonderful, Christ exalting, rendition and a choir of his grandchildren sang beautifully and harmoniously, “Great is thy Faithfulness.” His brother George spoke eloquently at the memorial service and addressed the truth that, in God’s sight, serving faithfully in the fields is equally as important as serving as a full-time Christian worker. Truly Glenn was “a man of the soil” and “a man of the spirit.”

Pastor Paul Juris, in a heartfelt message, commended Glenn and Flora for their faithful attendance at Church meetings, especially the prayer meeting. He also ex- pressed gratitude for their home being a centre of hospitality; but he made it clear, Heaven was Glenn’s final home because he had placed his trust in the work of the crucified, and risen Christ.

Glenn was loved by all our staff, for his personal interest in each of us and for his unswerving commitment to the “training of young people” to serve Christ. He had a special place in his heart for NBBI’s Campus View Farm, as farm managers, Clarence Knowles and Rob Burns would testify.He believed that the farm played an important part in the training of young people in teaching “the discipline of daily duty.” Glenn never lost sight of the importance of the individual staff members as he directed the pursuit of the organization’s goals.

I found Glenn Duff to be a man who did not faint but fought on, in faith. A small gift which was given to a staff member by Glenn has inscribed upon it the words that I believe express Glenn Duff’s honest lifestyle, “ One day at a time, only one person to please – the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Our heartfelt prayers and love go out to his wife, Flora and all his beloved family. Along with them, we will miss his presence here on earth but rejoice that He is in the presence of the Lord Jesus with whom he walked his life- long journey and whose fellowship he now enjoys “face to face.”

Remember to set aside October 21-22, 2011 for our Ladies’ Conference with Gracia Burnham. We will also enjoy testimonies, special music and great fellowship.

Gracia Burnham is the widow of Martin Burnham and the mother of Jeff, Mindy and Zach. For 17 years she and Martin served with New Tribes Mission in the Philippines where Martin was a jungle pilot delivering mail, supplies and encouragement to other missionaries, and transporting sick and injured patients to medical facilities. Gracia served in various roles supporting the aviation program and also home-schooled their children–all of whom were born in the Philippines.

While celebrating their 18th wedding anniversary at Dos Palmas Resort off Palawan Island, the Burnhams were kidnapped on May 27, 2001, by the Abu Sayyaf Group, a militant group of Muslims. They seized several more guests and took them to Basilan Island, an ASG stronghold. In the ensuing months some of the hostages were killed, but most were set free. From November 2001, only the Burnhams and one ther hostage remained in captivity. During their 376 days of captivity, they faced near starvation, constant exhaustion, frequent gun battles, coldhearted murder and intense soul-searching about a God who sometimes seemed to have forgotten them. On June 7, 2002, in a firefight between the Philippine military and the Abu Sayyaf Group, Martin was killed. Gracia was wounded, but was freed.

Since that time Gracia has authored two books, In the Presence of My Enemies, and To Fly Again. Her oldest son, Jeff, and his wife, Sarah, have accepted an assignment with Flying Mission Services in Botswana, Africa. Mindy is now married to Andy Hedvall, a “missionary kid” from South America. Mindy has completed her course of study at New Tribes Bible Institute in Waukesha, WI and Andy continues in his training there. Zachary is attending Butler County Community College on a voice scholarship. Gracia resides in Rose Hill, Kansas. Because of her unique story, Gracia is a popular speaker for churches, conferences and schools.

Looking forward to seeing you here!

On May 17, 2011, Dr. Barry Beebe concluded his faithful service as president of New Brunswick Bible Institute. The Board of Directors of NBBI wishes to express our appreciation to Barry and Linda for their years of faithful service and for allowing God to use them to touch the lives of hundreds of students in their time with us. Barry has served and led the school with integrity and passion for the cause of Christ and with the vision that NBBI be a place of unequalled training for young men and women seeking the call of God on their lives.

Dr. Robert Booker, our current Vice President, has assumed the day-to-day responsibilities of the President until a new President is appointed. Bob is supported by a strong administrative team and a committed and veteran faculty who are dedicated to the work that God has called them to at NBBI. We have been encouraged in these past weeks with a sense of unity and resolve among the staff to see that the mission of the school is fulfilled for the glory of God. We are grateful for our past, encouraged in the present, and committed to a future of continuing to train servants of God who are adequately equipped for ministry in a day of great challenge.

The Board of Directors has already begun the process of seeking the man that God would have for us as the next President of NBBI. In that process, we are assessing the needs of the school and have been formulating a presidential profile and updated job description that are relevant to the demands of leadership at this institution. Since 1944, God has blessed us with godly leadership which has guided the school through challenging times and we anticipate that God will once again meet this need as we wait on Him. Please pray with us as we work through this process. We do not want to be hasty, but we do want to be diligent in this task that lies before us.

You will be encouraged to know that Vacation with a Vision has been a huge success this year. With your generosity and the volunteer labour of many, much needed improvements are being made in the ladies’ dorm and in other areas around the campus. Our students will be thrilled with the improvements that have been made!

We would ask you to pray with us as we look to the future and for a President who will lead us with vision and passion for academic excellence in equipping new generations for service to Christ. Pray for our administration and faculty as they prepare for the 68th year of training workers for Christ, and I would once again ask that you pray for wisdom for the Board of Directors as we seek the mind of God.

We are grateful to you, our friends, alumni and supporters who make this work possible with your sacrificial gifts and prayers. We are humbled.

Gratefully In Christ,

Pastor Mitch Ross

Chairman of the Board
New Brunswick Bible Institute

FEBRUARY 18-20 AND FEBRUARY 25-27

Don’t miss this exciting and challenging annual event for young people ages 13 to 18 (grades 7-12). Teens will be involved in various indoor and outdoor activities such as relay games, three-on-three basketball, table games, tubing and more.

Our guest speaker, Wayne Heikkinen was born in rural Maine and received Christ at a Daily Vacation Bible School at the age of 6. His family was involved in their local church and upon Wayne’s graduation from Wayside Christian Academy, he enrolled at New Brunswick Bible Institute. At NBBI, Wayne met his life partner, Sandy and felt his call to ministry. Wayne spent time as a youth pastor in Nova Scotia and, for 23 years after that, represented Word of Life Local Church Ministries. In 2002, God led Wayne to Rock Mills Fellowship Baptist Church as Pastor. For the past years, Wayne has had the wonderful privilege of sharing in the revitalization process of this local church. The emphasis of spiritual leadership, biblical discipleship and equipping the saints produced a commitment to reaching out to the community. God has blessed this ministry. Wayne and Sandy make their home across the road from Lake Eugenia in Ontario and love to spend time with their 3 grown children (2 are married), 4 grandchildren and their dog and they enjoy gardening, landscaping, walking, travelling and entertaining.

You will also be hearing various NBBI faculty members, as they share from God’s Word during our class times and our NBBI musical groups as they share in song throughout these weekends.

Dr. R. Barry Beebe, NBBI President

Dear Friend:

God’s faithfulness continues just as He said it would. His mercy is not only new every morning but every school year, this being our 67th.

God faithfully allowed us to end the summer in the black. Our bills were paid and our finances balanced. He has given us a slight increase in attendance – 103 students with open and hungry hearts. They are a blessing to us in their attitude, behaviour and passion for Christ.

We want to end the 2010 year faithfully, on a spiritually high note, and begin 2011 in tune with the Lord’s will for this school.

Your faithful assistance is now greatly appreciated. Please pray for: (1) God to be glorified through this ministry each day (2) increased enrolment (3) finances to pay our bills over a long, cold, dark winter (4) our graduates to make a great impact around the world for Christ.

Our general operating account will soon reach bottom. Parschauer Hall and our waste treatment project are on hold. These are challenging days for many Bible schools and Christian organizations. Our Board of Directors is faithfully planning to adequately handle our many needs and yet propel our school forward.

Please contact me at any time with questions or suggestions. Follow our web page for up-to-date information regarding school activities and future events.

Your faithful gift would be appreciated so much at this time.

We are seeking to remain faithful to our original purpose and mandate to train Christian workers for the fields of the world.

You can send your tax-deductible donation to:

New Brunswick Bible Institute
2335 Route 103
Victoria Corner, NB E7P 1C7

Pastor Bob Snell and his wife Joanne

Guest Speaker: Pastor Bob Snell

Pastor Snell assumed senior pastoral responsibilities at First Baptist Church in Waterloo, Ontario in January 2001. He provides oversight to a congregation committed to spiritually and eternally impacting peoples’ lives. He and his wife, Joanne, have 4 daughters.

Pastor Snell has enjoyed 27 years of ministry in Waterloo and Simcoe. He’s an Honours B.A. graduate from the University of Guelph and holds a M.Div. degree from London Baptist Bible College and Seminary. He has travelled worldwide in missionary ministry and frequently speaks at Bible Conferences, Youth Retreats and Bible Colleges and Seminaries.

Presently he serves as a member of the Word of Life Canada Board of Directors as well as Advisory Council for A.B.W.E. (Across Borders for World Evangelism). For relaxation he enjoys playing hockey, softball and golf.

Gregg Ernst and his four sons

OneBlood is an acappella quintet consisting of Gregg Ernst and four of his sons Joshua, John, Peter and Elijah. These men sing motets, hymns, spirituals, and gospel songs in four and five part harmony. In their music, they attempt to give Christians a renewed sense of God’s love, beauty, and grace, and non-Christians a view of God’s reality, holiness, and truth.

OneBlood formed in 2009 to be the touring subgroup of the Ernst Family. This family has been performing since 2001, appearing on national radio and television, releasing three CD’s, and touring the Maritimes, Ontario, and Northeastern USA.

Gregg farms on the First Peninsula near Lunenburg, Nova Scotia and is also a professional blacksmith. At his shop, the ironworks for the Bluenose and Bluenose II were forged. Greg was a participant in the World’s Strongest Man competitions. He still holds the official world record for the back lift of 5,340 pounds. More importantly than being an iron-man, Gregg is a Christian man who seeks to live for and serve His Lord Jesus Christ.

MFG 2010 - Fire Department Presentations

Several hundred men from the Maritimes, New England and as far away as Saskatchewan flooded onto the NBBI campus for a challenging, yet rewarding, Men for God Rally this weekend. Lives were touched, as Dr. Michael Loftis, President of ABWE- Harrisburg, opened the Word of God and spoke directly, without hesitation, to our attentive men.

Tremendous fellowship, great food, uplifting music and good open laughter were enjoyed by each man who attended. High Meadow Quartet ministered with great effectiveness during each rally.  What a taste of heaven!

A friendly "Hose Rolling" competition

The Firefighter theme was a huge success as area firemen demonstrated the jaws of life, thermal imaging equipment and firefighter skills.  The Hartland Fire Department used the rescue equipment in our gymnasium to completely cut apart a car, and carry it piece by piece outdoors… all in under 20 minutes! The Woodstock Fire Team used a thermal imaging camera to “rescue” a man in a dark, smoke-filled room off stage, while a video feed from the camera was shown on the big screen in the auditorium.

Dr. Michael Loftis challenged us to be "Battle Ready Men."

NBBI seized this opportunity to make presentations and show our support to both the Hartland and Woodstock firemen, for their dedicated and tireless service to our communities.

Here, in the final rally, Dr. Loftis challenges the men to the key of spiritual success.  Now, we must “steal away” and reflect upon all that God has done in and through His faithful servant.

What a GREAT weekend!

“Planned Giving” means making a charitable gift in a way that maximizes your tax and estate benefits. Allowable gifts include cash, gifts in kind like stocks and real estate, and a right to a future payment such as life insurance proceeds. Your planned gift can be a “present gift” that NBBI uses now, or a “deferred gift, that is only available in the future, generally after your death.

You may want to consider giving to NBBI through a cash donation; gift in kind – stock or real estate; bequest under a will – RRSP, RRIF or capital property; insurance policy; or another option. At upcoming conferences, we will have people available to discuss these options and answer your questions. However, in the meantime, if you are interested in finding out more about Planned Giving, you can contact us by clicking here.
